Now that the football season is over and the rallies have been laid aside for a while, we -an look back over the situation and perhaps discover some things that may or may not he to our' liking. It has been admitted by most college folks that interest in pep manifestations is gradually fading out; students either do not attend rallies any more, or, if they do attend, they are not inclined to jump up and down and otherwise whoop up the affair To anyone who has had the pleasure of making arrangements for a rally this lack of enthusiasm, is conspicuous. Graduates come back and are rather disappointed because of this. They say that the students used to come to pep demonstrations in great hordes and at the command of the yell leader would whoop and howl themselves into a frenzy. But times have changed; it is difficult now to get crowds to attend the rallies, and it is stil more dif ficult to get any display of emotion out of those who do attend . And needless to say the decline of the rally has been lamented by most everyone, even tho most of those who mourn the most are least concerned with what happens. It is said that the football team needs support in the form of student euthusiasm; that the glory of the alma mater is at stake at every grid'ron en counter, and thus it is Implied that students who fail to take active part in the rally are showing their disinterest in the school. Regardless of how much dismayed the foot ball enthusiasts have become as a result of this situation, the condition gets worse every year it seems. Harvard has abolished the pep meet ing as too juvenile for the Harvard intelli gence, and in general we note that college yells and demonstrations are becoming a little more conservative in recent years. The goofy, mean ingless words such as "Boomalateha," and silly phrases like "Strawberry shortcake blue berrie pie," have become less popular except in high schools. This apparent sophistication of the under graduate students; this unwillingness to fly into a frenzy and a series of wierd demonstra tions at the command of a cheer leader, indi cates a greater stability of mind, a more ma turenature which is certainly to be desired. Some folks who have never been to college have the idea that college students are a bunch of Willy-nillies who on the slightest provoca tion will form into mobs and yell and ho2Ur like a tribe of savages doing a religious danee. If this was ever true the time is past now. And if anybody wants to bring back to pood old days when college boys were really boys, we sincerely hope that he fails in his under taking. This apparent sophistication may be nothing but sheer laziness and indifference, but it feels good to think that young folks arc coming out of their childishness and do not remain "kids" all thru their college days. Lessons in the alma mater songs of every university in the country are taught to stu dents of education it New York university. Mythical Teams Are a Myth. Thejseason on All-American football players is drawing to a close. The curtain on the an nualljarce is lowering slowly and only a few ambitious reporters have yet to name their favorites. For two weeks sport columns have been filled with All-American teams, All-Con- ThtCclassie example of "Walter Camp's ee itlnn Itaa nftan VtaATl AiAfl TVlorO is Tin lllllStrA ALIVU hvvi v.VVV. .iiv.v aw ' ' I O tion anywhere, which demonstrates better how with you. writers and coaches have no possible chance or seeing all t tic players m acuon in a season and must take the word of other men for the player's abilities. Often times tho writer may like a player s name, or he may bo selected because of bally hoo from the school for which he plays. At any rate nine times out of ten the best players are missed and tho ones who arc selected are the ones that had the good fortune to have an All-picker sec him in action. Probably the best plan would be to not select them but that would be like trying to make water run up hill. All-All teams will undoubtedly be inflicted upon us for many years to come and we will have to grin and bear it. Love, intoxication and faculty intelligence are the reasons for freshmen flunking out of school, says a dean at Nebraska University. The Tennsylvanian .

Also, alone the same line wc find men in public offices or employed by the government who are wasteful with public funds and who are guiny 01 gross mismanagement of public affairs. There is not much we can do about it. of course. Closer supervision is not convenient or practical, and we must have public prop erty. All that anyone can do is to attempt to create a different frame of mind either by a proeess of education from childhood up or by some other method. At any rate a change of attitude must take place, and perhaps while we are changing attitudes, we can get rid of some of the greed and hoggishness which is back of all our graft and racketeering. University of Idaho girls say they "don't get 50 cents worth of pleasure in sitting next to God's great gift to Idaho women" and would rather "go to the show with my room mate" than share expenses. If Clara Bow had been married several years sooner she could have had a lot more publicity out of the affair, and think of all the publicity a divorce would have brought. MORNING MAIL The World Forum. TO THE EDITOR: Edna Ferber, in a recent interview, stated that the most striking difference between Eu ropean and American college students is the contrast in their interest in national and in ternational problems. One of her recent ar ticles tells of a French boy's dismay and dis snnmntment in an American cousin whom he had come to visit, who had no apparent interest in the social and political prooiems mat aneci us all. Before coming to school here, I assumed that the future leaders in this and other; schools had such an interest. However I found that most everybody was so occupied with social and scholastic interests that little thot or in terest was wasted on discussing and thinking on these subjects. I don't want to give the impression that one should think on these subjects because it is his duty as a future citizen of this great and influential country. I think that one should think and confab on these things be cause a person with brains can get a great kick out of it, and because all these things, altho secminerlv remote have a great influence on our present and future life.

The December Sfcflue will contain several articles of unusual Interest. -according; to Mr. Briggs. This number features an article entitled "Uncle Sam's Ether Pa trol." by William Norrls, senior In the Colleg-e of Electrical Engineer ing. His atory describes the equip ment and operation of the fre quency monitaring station near Grand Island which ia operated by the federal radio commission.

This is a story of the development of speed and power in airplane de sign during the past decade as stimulated by the Schneider cup competition. According to Coffee's article, the Schneider cup competes have furnished the main incentive fcr the aggressive development oi high speed planes. CHAPIN REPORT SHOWS ACTIVITY OF STUDENTS HIGH (Continued from Page 1.) vey attempted to trace the corres ponding Intensiveness of his activ ity by finding out how many com mittees he served on and how many offices he held at the same time. The conclusion to which this tab ulation lead is that the more active a student leader is in campus ac tivities, the more intensive becomes his activity in them. One of the most Interesting dl ornrlv related to the carry-over from student activities into alumni community atuviuw. This part of the study was based upon the returns of 241 alumni active as stu dents in extra-curricular activities and organizations, and ibl aiurani who had not been so active as stu dents. In both groups the returns came from men and women who had been graduated ten to fifteen vAflra hpfore. In eeneral. the active group showed a more substantial carry over to adult activity in each spe cific type than the ,ess active group. Commenting on this result, the author made the following statement: "It. seems probable that tv. .wato. artivitv of senior col- lege students previously noted is not wholly the result oi acauemn. survival, but is in some measures an indication of social ability or the acquisition by experience and training of participating habits, as 7Bii am in tiRrt due to the greater opportunities for activity in the senior college." "If this conclusion is corrobo rated by other studies it seems clear that extra-curricular activi ties have a real vocational signifi cance and that this aspect of stu dent life deserves more considera tion from university authorities than it has previously received." It is perhaps significant that 38 percent of the alumni who replied to the questionnaire sent to them consider extra-curricular activities more valuable than classroom work; 25.6 prcent consider them of equal value. In other words, 63.6 percent of the alumni consider that extra-curricular activities have equal or more value than classroom work that requires the same amount of time. At the conclusion of the report of the survey, Professor Chapin makes this statement: "It is worth pointing out that the results of our various attempts to analyze the re turns gathered in this comprehen sive survey hung together with re markable cogency and all seem to point to the fact of social and edu cational values inhering in and ac cruing from extra-curricular activ ities. It seems likely that extra curricular activities serve a real function in developing that social intelligence which has long been recognized in 'the great society' as an attribute of vast importance."
